Different parts, different methods
Island canopies
Everything about an island canopy is on show so a clean, even finish matters. We degrease it thoroughly and photograph the result.
Wall canopies
Long wall canopies often have several filter banks. Each section’s plenum and housing is cleaned in turn, with photos for each.
Canopy cleaning in Townhill Park
We’ve been cleaning kitchen canopies since we started trading in 2009. As a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, we treat the canopy as one part of a whole system, and we’re fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. Typical jobs include heavy deposits behind the grease filters and filters that never seem to stay clean, on plenum chambers, canopy light fittings and wall canopies.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Townhill Park gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When something else is needed
Canopy cleaning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Bent or broken filters
- A dirty extract fan further along the system
- Poor airflow from a fan that needs repair
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Townhill Park questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Townhill Park?
In Townhill Park, it’s Southampton council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Townhill Park?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you work in Townhill Park?
Yes. We work in Townhill Park and across Southampton, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Can I just have the canopy cleaned instead of the whole system?
Canopy cleaning is part of TR19, not the whole of it. Your report lists exactly what was cleaned so nobody mistakes it for a full system clean.
How long is a canopy clean?
A single canopy with a light build-up is fairly quick, but large or heavily soiled canopies take longer. You’ll know before we start.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.

Canopy cleaning around Townhill Park
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 46 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 50 takeaways in and around Townhill Park, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever there’s a canopy over the cooking, its hood and plenum collect grease with every service. Food hygiene inspections in Townhill Park are the job of Southampton council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Townhill Park sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hospital like Moorgreen Hospital, about 1.5 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. School kitchens, at schools like Townhill Junior School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few hours for most canopies. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Townhill Park.
- We look at the canopy, filters and troughs first.
- Once the kitchen has closed, the cooking line is cooled and sheeted.
- With the filters removed, the plenum and filter channels are cleaned.
- The canopy shell, seams, troughs and gutters are degreased inside and out.
- We put the filters back, tidy up and photograph the finished canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Do you need canopy cleaning in Townhill Park?
The canopy takes the hottest, wettest air in the kitchen. Grease from the vapour lands on the canopy’s inner surfaces, its joints and its filters before what gets through reaches the plenum.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Condensation and grease dripping together
- Grease filters blocking between washes
- A filter housing caked in grease
- Fat running down the front of the hood
Where a hall near St. Mary's Church, or anywhere in Townhill Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the price is fixed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
